Sweet Nightmare From Above

Once upon a time there was as girl
She had dreams and ambition with an unstoppable vision
She dreamt of notes and words, words you could hold
Passion you could water and watch her world grow

Help, help is my gift, so she charged forth with honor and valor
Confused the first time she was told to sexualize her power

This is how you make it, they said, just show a little skin
No need for a message to get a top 10
My art was assaulted, my intelligence ravaged
You said I was worthless, ate my soul like a savage

You pulled me beneath the weight of sorrow
My bones gave way insidiously
It felt like I was over
Crushed and buried by the callous, contentious words of my enemy

You ruined me for sport and laughed at my corpse
Set fire to my purpose, was death my resort?

No
No to the reins I wore as your prisoner
No to the ashes of yesterday's chapter
I have to disagree, you were never my author
Your cynical cold ignorance now fuels my wild laughter

I won't let the damage define the fate of me
Today I stand on top of it, defying its gravity
I am reborn again not only from fire, but frost
The eclipse of hate and love, you can't freeze my arc, you can't melt my grudge

So goodbye little villain, sweet nightmare from above
'Cause honey I ride a popsicle made from your blood
